paleobotanist - original poem

paleobotanist

the paleobotanist

will be sure to find a cure

"the only one left

in this hyper-sphere

of the soiled universe"

remarks the weary cyclops

the final key

to advanced

xeno-morphogenesis

must be hidden

avoiding hydrolysis

beneath the moldy

green carpeted layers

of Saturn's

reproducing flower ports

dangling and drooping

off its unreal rings

midnight moon - original poem

 midnight moon

you did me dirty

midnight moon

but I offer no resentful

or vengeful notes of anger

for your fangs to latch onto

the hand-drawn black box

on the backside of my neck

blocks the only biological gateway

between my own armor

and the glowingness of you

thick black ink

serving as rubber cement

securing the dusty old gate

finally in its resting place

so I will not resort to violence

or misdirected hatred

for only our midnight moon

is left to shimmer

in the fields of our clouds

above where the other brethren

were all cast out of Heaven

leaving only their ugly

dusty vibrant entrails

squirming in the sky

still observable

on our modern telescope

as periscopic mystic codes

Bookman - original poem by Sasha Logan

Bookman

A wealthy man shows intellect,

from pondering his manuscripts.

He’s never been on ship nor train,

to see the world, he’s too afraid.

For now he cowers inside his room,

content to watch the flowers bloom.

Roses and wildflowers from his window,

same books and view from his youth.

C.J. Cherryth Covers #1

Taking a look at some of the amazing cover art found on the sci-fi and fantasy novels written by the prolific writer C.J. Cherryth.  I still have to dive into this author's work and I think I will start with the Cyteen series since I have all three in the series unless anyone has any better suggestions.  

diurnal resonance - original poem

 diurnal resonance

all longing for

the diurnal beats

wandering in resonance

with our major vital organs

to command the inner chi

and dematerialize any being

as all cellular bodies

resonate at certain frequencies

and move the vibrations

of quartz crystal microbalances

at different rates

in unique logarithmic shapes

swaying in the aether

like a wooden swinging horse

gelled within the folds

of adjacent

temporarily overlapping

time loops

features from distinct

carnival rides

and historical timelines

strangely enmeshed

only for a few

brief moments

- - -

unwind

canvassed mind - original poem

 canvassed mind

the bronzed pages

thumb-creased covers

implore me

to discover your characters

visit your foreign lands

spawned from the kink

in evolutionary metamorphosis

towards a sense of higher purpose

rather than one

of proprietary survival

let me visualize the world

that shook your soul

and rotated your wrists

with enough torque

to write such emotive work

my eyes are numb

in the simplicity of your similes

by your stylized rhymes

and immaculate pacing

over the once barren fields

now splayed with latexed colors

far from their initial titanium whites

that sheeted existence blandly

your texts have begun to paint

my blank canvassed mind

Gregory Benford Covers #1

Gregory Benford...another hard SF classic author with a bunch of titles to his name.   I think "Across the Sea of Suns" is going to be my first read by him soon since I have a number of  cover variants.
